"This serene tea shop and cafe has been a favorite for a quick drink or light meal for years. It’s famous for its salty oatmeal cookies, but dishes such as chicken salad and cilantro scrambled eggs are additional options; also find bento boxes here." - Tierney Plumb
"The Shaw bar is all about Bolivia’s beloved hot cocktail this winter, made with chamomile tea, Rujero Singani, honey, cinnamon, and lime ($13). Roy Boys bartender Luis Aliaga also whipped up a new lineup of $10 hot cocktails for Salvadoran restaurant El Tamarindo in Adams Morgan. Try the Cafe Con Piquete (Bulleit Bourbon, orange liqueur, Mexican spiced coffee, and heavy cream)." - Kalina Newman, Tierney Plumb
"The long-running D.C. teahouse in Dupont, Penn Quarter, and Lafayette Park serves a classic bubble tea with iced black tea, milk, sugar, and tapioca pearls. Add a reusable stainless steel boba straw with a cleaning brush for $5 more." - Jamie Liu
"I reported that Teaism’s Penn Quarter location announced Monday night that it would close Tuesday and Wednesday in anticipation of the demonstrations." - Gabe Hiatt
"This O.G. tea house and restaurant (with locations in Penn Quarter, Lafayette Square, and Dupont) has been a mainstay of the healthy-ish crowd for years. The Asian-influenced menu centers around nutrient-dense bento boxes and soups, with other vegetable-heavy large plates and curries. The shop, of course, carries a wide selection of teas and tea accessories."
